Lyrics

Have you heard the won­drous sto­ry
Of the vic­to­ry for God,
How the Lord of life and glo­ry,
Sin be­neath His feet hath trod?

Refrain

Sing it out, oh, sing it ev­er,
Till the hills take up the strain,
And the saints be­yond the ri­ver—
Join to sing, He lives again!

Have you heard the won­drous sto­ry
Of a wide and op­en grave,
Out of which the Lord of glo­ry
Hath come forth with pow­er to save?

Refrain

Have you heard the won­drous sto­ry
Of the cap­tive souls set free
By the Lord of life and glo­ry,
Who hath brought them li­ber­ty?

Refrain

May I tell the won­drous sto­ry,
For I know its worth so well,
How the Lord of life and glo­ry,
Saved my soul from death and hell?
